On December 26, Beijing time, the Lakers were not enough to make a big trade, and after the disastrous defeat in the Christmas game, James has already said three reasons for the loss.
It stands to reason that the opposite Celtics are the first in the entire NBA so far, and it is not a shame to lose to them, but after all, this game is the home court of the Lakers, and the concept of the Lakers' home court and the home court of the Green Army is completely different. Playing the year-end battle on their home court, first of all, Zhan Huang Lakers already have some geographical advantages, not to mention the timing, the rest time of the two sides is also the same, the venue Lakers are more familiar, and the fans are also on their side.
So the reason why the Lakers lost this game is naturally for other reasons, and when James said three important factors for losing, maybe we can finally understand it. In his eyes, one of the reasons for the Lakers' loss was that the lineup was too poor, and when he faced the camera after the game, LeBron said something meaningful, saying that their lineup: "It's not the kind of lineup that can compete with the top teams in the NBA, and the level can't reach this level." ”
In fact, the Lakers' lineup for this year's Christmas game has undergone a earth-shaking change from the lineup for last season's Christmas game. At present, there are only 4 people in this lineup who have played last season's Christmas war, in addition to the Zhan Mei combination, it turned out to be rookie Christie and the Lakers' third big man Reaves, just these 4 people, the rest have all been changed, but the new lineup is still not enough.
So first of all, the lineup can't beat the Celtics, in fact, as Zhan Huang said, since the Lakers dismantled the championship lineup in 2020, the team's performance as a whole has not been very good, and they have been trying the lineup, from the big lineup to the small lineup, but they have never debugged an answer.
Look at the starters of the Celtics opposite, Holiday is a former NBA All-Star, Boshen is an NBA All-Star, Tatum Brown has two supergiants at the highest salary level plus a White, and then there is an NBA All-Star Horford on the bench, there are 5 All-Stars guaranteed, 6 players who can be the core of other teams, and the Lakers only have James and thick eyebrows. 2 to 6, how do you say this game is played?Not to mention that the Lakers are older, James is 40 years old, and the thick eyebrows are 31.
This year's change of lineup can only be said to be either good defense, but the shooting is too iron, or it can shoot, but it doesn't defend, or it can't play a tough game and is too soft, everyone has obvious shortcomings, and they will be criticized, which is the old problem that the Lakers have now.
In addition to the poor lineup, James also brought up one point, which is his injury. With 4:02 left in the second quarter of the game, when the Lakers were one point behind, Zhan Huang was chasing Brown when he hit the knee of his left leg from the opposite side, and as a result, he fell to the ground in pain. This collision had a very obvious impact on his whole game, and he never recovered, and even caused him to go out of the game early.
Brown is a young man, James is an old man, and the age difference between the two is more than a round, and this recovery speed is definitely not the same. If you think about it carefully, if the most vulnerable part of an athlete is hit in the knee like this, no one may be able to stand it, and wouldn't it be the same if it were replaced by James?
The last point he mentioned about this Lakers loss, but also because a key is the referee's black whistle. Also when there was 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the second quarter, the Lakers trailed by two points, Tatum counterattacked and made a layup, and James directly sent a bloody hat behind him, which is a really good hat, and we can see it clearly in slow motion. Then the referee blew James for a foul, and Zhan Huang immediately demanded that he must challenge, this ball is not challenged, and he frantically spread his hands and complained that the referee was very dissatisfied.
Sure enough, his foul was canceled after the challenge, but the referee blew another Princes foul, and he had to give the Celtics two free throws, and if you didn't foul your teammate fouled, James was not happy. He bombarded the referee's black whistle after the game, bluntly saying that there was a problem with this matter: "You blew my foul, you can't watch the replay anymore and give my foul to my teammates." If you tell me that my teammate Prince fouled this round, then I won't challenge because you blew me for a foul. ”
He was very upset and felt that the change of sentence did not have any impact on the outcome of the game, wasn't it a joke?Who could stand this, so James felt that the whistle was aimed at them. In fact, thinking about what James said is reasonable, the Lakers' lineup is too poor, and it can't be compared with the very balanced NBA first team like the Green Army, he himself has an injury, and there is no way to recover to full blood, playing a team like the Celtics, you have to play supernormally when you are completely healthy to win, and he is not in the best physical condition now. In the end, the referee was still blowing the whistle to target, no wonder some fans supported James: "Support Lao Zhan." ", the referee blows randomly, teammates are terrible!Except for Brother Thick Eyebrows, all can be traded!”
